More and more frequently, we hear people asking whether the LMS is dead.
Learning has finally burst out of the classroom and become informal, social,
and mobile. How can learning be “managed” when there are no registrations,
rosters, and completions to count? Of course, formal instruction is still
important for things like compliance, safety, onboarding, and baseline skills. But
to many organizations, the future of learning management systems seems unclear.

Participants in this session will explore the role of learning
management in informal, social, and mobile learning. You will examine current
features and capabilities addressed by the LMS market and get a forecast of future
trends. Most importantly, you will learn a set of LMS evaluation criteria that
will position your organization to make LMS purchase and upgrade decisions that
ensure it is equipped to take full advantage of emerging learning models.

In this session, you will learn:

How today’s leading LMS products handle social and
mobile learning

How tomorrow’s LMS products will handle informal
learning

How learning management will transform over the
coming years

How to weigh options for managing learning in the cloud

How to define forward-looking criteria for
evaluating and selecting an LMS
